Expectation vs. Reality in Early Motherhood with Helen Buteux

Early motherhood is full of advice, expectations and pressure, and it can be hard to know what really matters.

In this episode of The Relaxed Mama Club, I’m joined by occupational therapist Helen Buteux, known as Becoming a Mummy. Helen combines science, play and real-life experience to support mums through the early months, helping them understand how to support their baby’s brain, body and emotional development, while also caring for their own wellbeing.

Together, we explore some of the most common myths in early motherhood and talk honestly about the realities behind them. This is a reassuring, grounding conversation for anyone feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or craving a calmer, more realistic approach to life with a baby.
